Franklin Roosevelt

Trump tests America

One would have imagined that post the 6 January 2021 attack on Capitol Hill and the subsequent impeachment for insurrection, Americans would have realised the dangers of supporting an amoral anarchist like Trump. Far from it, his base is as rock-solid as ever, even as the former President has now been charged with a crime. His illiberality, and his xenophobic and undemocratic actions rail against America‘s purported stance as the beacon of morality, democracy, and progressive enlightenment

A new era in opinion polls?

In the US, Franklin Roosevelt defeated Alf Landon in 1936, Harry Truman defeated Thomas Dewey in 1948, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 – all against the predictions of the major opinion polls.
